Yeah they are for my shackles.  I got some when I got my MORE booms but the nipples are just pressed in and they keep popping off when I try to grease them

When I bought some Currie Control arms off ebay, they didn't come with enough bolts.  A guy in the toolroom at my work did just that for me.  I imagine you could find a shop in Calgary to do it.  I know Currie's bolts are expensive.  A shop would probably be more.

Just get some press ins with no ball. Press ins should not have a check valve ball because of the exact problem of spitting them out.

Or tap them if they are actually coming out to easily.
